The replacement of petrochemical products such as plastics by renewable, bio-based substitutes is a first-order priority in the technological agendas of our countries. For a successful transition, efficient design-based cell factories are required. While decades of research have increased our knowledge in metabolic network function, the quantitative understanding of the regulatory mechani…
3-hydroxyacids (3HA) are intermediary compounds produced by many organisms, among them are the bacteria from the Pseudomonas genus, which serve as monomers in the metabolic pathway to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), a biopolymer with potential use as bioplastic, as well as rhamonolipids (RL), a biosurfactant. On these pathways, 3HA is found to bound to coenzyme A (CoA) or acyl carrie…
The use of large amounts of petroleum-based plastics in commerce and industry even though practical and comparatively cheaper has dangerous environmental consequences for the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment. On the other hand polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable polymers with thermoplastic properties used by prokaryotes and have the potential to replace the plas…
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are polyesters produced by several bacteria that arouse great industrial interest because they have thermoplastic properties. Glycerol has become an abundant carbon source for bioprocesses as it is generated as waste in the biodiesel production process. Ralstonia eutropha is the most studied bacterium for the production of PHA, however, wild-type strains of R. …

The accumulation of petrochemical-based materials in soil and water has been a major problem of environmental pollution due to the difficulty of their degradation and reincorporation to the biological cycles. An alternative to overcome this situation is the use of biodegradable bioproducts synthesized by Pseudomonas spp., an example is rhamnolipids, a biosurfactant, which is a low toxicit…
The Pseudomonas sp. LFM046 have been studied as biological platform for the production of biodegradable polymers belonging to the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) family, at the Laboratory of Bioproducts, University of São Paulo (LBUSP). The full genome of Pseudomonas sp. LFM046 was obtained (Cardinali-Rezende et al. 2015) and the annotation of their genes were manually refined to enhance the q…
Rhamnolipids are a class of glycolipid biosurfactants in which the structure consist of a lipophilic portion usually composed of hydrocarbon chains with one or more fatty acids (which may be saturated, unsaturated, hydroxylated or branched), bond to a hydrophilic portion, a rhamnose. It is widely used in various industrial processes, from the food to the petrochemical industry. The mai…
